"HOTEL OF THE YEAR"
— HOTEL ANTEROOM, Kyoto
On April 28, 2011, in between Kujo and Jujo at the south side of Kyoto Station, a 23 year-old student dormitory was renovated and reopened as a hotel and apartment, “ HOTEL ANTEROOM KYOTO”.
The concept of the hotel is the place where art and culture that represent the present Kyoto gather. The space unites the people around the world visiting Kyoto and the people live in the apartment.
The hotel provides the guests with the comforts of gathering of friends, while also functioning as an anteroom where they can prepare themselves for a trip into Kyoto’s city center. The apartments provide a living space in which residents can enjoy an exciting lifestyle with like-minded individuals. It is a new style of space without too much elaboration and is a mixture of both ordinary and extraordinary. The guests and the residents can feel the lifestyle and the culture of the city that are always changing.
The public space, which consists of a lounge, a library, a gallery, and a restaurant all lining up from the entrance, gathers cultures such as art, music, and design to be sent out. It also provides the guests with a space to communicate with each other. Various events are planned here, connecting things around the world with Kyoto itself, mixing them together, and creating something new.
You will meet exciting lifestyles through the events relating to art and music as well as the daily communication with the travelers visiting the hotel.
3 reasons to go there:
- Perfect place to stay in Kyoto. Tourists can book a room in their hotel, people from around can book an apartment.
- The restaurant is a great place to hang out.
- You can also expect exhibitions, events and more gatherings.

— FUJIFILM X10
The Fuji X10 is remarkably small. However, it feels nice in your
hand. It seems larger than a Canon G series camera but thinner and more
elegant. Everything feels like it’s in the right place here, although
the Canon G series cameras are also quite good.
The top of the camera features a hot shot in the middle. To the right
of that is the function dial for the user to change shooting modes.
Plus there is a shutter release with threading for a cable release. To
the right of those are the exposure compensation dial and a function
button. On the left where the camera says Fujifilm X10 is the pop-up flash.
*Porta's BD Gift!*
The Fujifilm X10 essentially brings together the best features of many
of its rivals - a bright, reasonably versatile zoom and a high quality
glass viewfinder. Add to this its relatively large EXR sensor and
enthusiast-friendly manual control and customization options, and it's a
very compelling little camera.

"SPARKLING OF THE YEAR"
— JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI
The story of 85-year-old Jiro Ono, considered by many to be the world’s greatest sushi chef. He is the proprietor of Sukiyabashi Jiro, a 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant inauspiciously located in a Tokyo subway station. Despite its humble appearances, it is the first restaurant of its kind to be awarded a prestigious three-star Michelin Guide rating, and sushi lovers from around the globe make repeated pilgrimage, calling months in advance and shelling out top dollar for a coveted seat at Jiro’s sushi bar.
JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI is a thoughtful and elegant meditation on work, family, and the art of perfection, chronicling Jiro’s life as both an unparalleled success in the culinary world and as a loving yet complicated father.
You have to love your job,
You must fall in love with your work.
Mr. Jiro
"AS A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT WORLD-CLASS SUSHI, THIS FILM IS DEFINITIVE... I FOUND MYSELF DRAWN INTO THE MYSTERY OF THIS MAN."
"MOUTHWATERING"
"THRILLING AND BEAUTIFUL. MADDENINGLY DELICIOUS LOOKING."
"5 STARS. A WORK OF ART"
